Speaker 1 (00:00):
From I Heart Radio and Rebeca Studios. This is fierce.
I can't type. Yes, Women workers do present problems. A
podcast about the incredible women who never made it into
our history books and the modern women carrying on their
legacies today. Used to the ladies the fair Eld the
week I can't find the women workers don't mind routine,

(00:23):
repetitive work And will you make a copy of this naturally?
I'm your host, Joe Piazza. Each week we're bringing you
the story of a groundbreaking woman from the past who
made huge contributions to the present, but whose name still
isn't on the tips of our tongues for whatever reason.
Clementine Paddleford. You know, I feel like I'm pretty well

(00:43):
read about, you know, pioneering women in this genre, and
now I hadn't heard of her. Changy Sow. She outclasses
every other known pirate by every metric you would use
to discover success. Phillis Sweetly she published a book when
she was at most twenty years old, while she was
still a slave. I mean, it's really kind of astounding

(01:04):
store of our life. Dorothy Arsner. I think that a
lot of producers made life very difficult for her because
they were known for their hemiphobia, and they were going
to put up with not only a woman director, but
a woman director who was a lesbian. Grace Hopper in
each of the previous Industrial revolutions were started by Thomas
Edison or a tesla or what. Grace Hopper was that

(01:28):
person for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Yet, when I would
talk to people here in Silicon Valley, I was in
shock that most people didn't even know who she was.
At the end of each episode, I'll be joined by
a woman living today who's standing on the shoulders of
this historical woman, whether she knows it or not. Fierce
debuts on May six. Join us for this storytelling adventure

(01:49):
featuring groundbreaking women from our past who you really ought
to know.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
